I wrote this morning that I wasn’t buying the news that Ed Reed was injured. The basis for my argument was that Reed didn’t appear on the team’s injury report after practice on Wednesday and that the news of his labrum tear came in an interview conducted by the president of his foundation, Glenn Younes, on 105.7 The Fan.

Like many media outlets, Jamison Henlsey of ESPN picked up the story and wrote about it Reed’s injury in the AFC North Blog. “During an interview with a Baltimore radio station on Wednesday, safety Ed Reed said that he has a torn labrum in his shoulder,” Hensley wrote.

@gunitradio Maybe I should become the president of the Ray Lewis foundation so I can break news.
